“A
masterpiece! . . . an homage to the Spirit of Gangsters Past . . .
Sann makes us understand how the big cities of America worked in the
years between the wars.”

–Pete
Hamill, author of Snow in August,
A Drinking Life and
Forever

“One of
the essential reads on the larger subject of the Prohibition era and
its criminal legacy. . . . Sann [brings] humanity and profound
literary skills to bear on a difficult subject, elevating the art of
crime writing to new levels. Now, a new generation of readers can
benefit from Paul Sann’s labors, and also, perhaps, be enthralled
by the timeless quality of something that will always have value, no
matter the technology: a great story rendered with elegance and
authenticity by a master of the craft.”
